Dynamic File Creation in Informatica using Transaction Control transformation

By
In here we will see how to generate files dynamically. The requirement is, Consider i have an employee table with the following fields Name,Salary,Department,ID
The files should be generated with employee name as file name and that particular file should have the details of that respective employee only, if the employee has more than one record then both the records should be pulled into the file.

We need to create a port in the target instance named as file name we need to create a port present in the right end corner it will be named as "Add FileName column to this table"

Create the mapping in the following way


In the expression, give the conditions in the following way

In transaction control information give the condition as



So by this for each new ename a file would be created, the duplicate values for the same ename also would be saved in the same file.

Hope this article helps you in understanding dynamic file creation

Comparing Objects in Informatica

By
We might face a scenario where there may be difference between PRODUCTION v/s SIT version of code or any environment or between different folders in same environment. In here we go for comparison of objects we can compare between mappings,sessions,workflows In Designer it would be present under "Mappings" tab we can find "Compare" option. In workflow manger under "Tasks & Workfows" tab we can find "Compare" option for tasks and workflows comparison respectively. However the easiest and probably the best practice would be by doing using Repository Manager.In Repository Manager under "Edit" tab we can find "Compare" option. The advantage of using Repository manager it compares all the objects at one go i.e. workflow,session and mapping. Hence reducing the effort of individually checking the mapping and session separately. Once we select the folder and corresponding workflow we Can click compare for checking out ...

Target Load Type - Normal or Bulk in Session Properties

By
We can see the Target load type ( Normal or Bulk) property in session under Mapping tab and we will go for Bulk to improve the performance of session to load large amount of data. SQL loader utility will be used for Bulk load and it will not create any database logs(redolog and undolog), it directly writes to data file.Transaction can not be rolled back as we don't have database logs.However,Bulk loading is very as compared to Normal loading. In target if you are using Primary Key or Primary Index or any constraints you can't use Bulk mode. We can see this property in the below snap shot.

Types of Joins in Oracle/Teradata

By Anonymous
In Data warehousing, irrespective of schema (snow flake schema or star schema) we are using, we should join dimension and fact tables to analyze the business. Below are the frequently used joins: Inner join Left outer Join Right outer Join Cross join Inner Join: Inner join will give you the matching rows from both the tables. If the join condition is not matching then zero records will return. We should use ON keyword to give join condition. Example: Table1: ID Name 1 Krishna 2 Anirudh 4 Ashok Table2: ID Location 1 Bangalore 3 Chennai 4 Chennai We can join above two tables using inner join based on key column ID. SELECT T1.ID, T1.Name, T2.Location FROM Table1 T1 INNER JOIN Table2 T2 ON T1.ID = T2.ID     If we are using inner join, it will give us matching rows from both the table. Here in this example, we have 2 matching rows i.e. ID 1 and 4. Below will be the result set for the above exa...
